Has anyone attempted to make SFTP on ProFTPD with SELinux work? I’d like to keep SELinux enabled on this particular system, but I prefer ProFTPD’s SFTP solution over OpenSSH. The aureport tool reports the following:

28. 11/05/2014 12:58:58 proftpd unconfined_u:system_r:ftpd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 4 file getattr system_u:object_r:sshd_key_t:s0 denied 86877

I have the SFTP config setup to just use the OpenSSH host keys, and it appears to be getting denied read access to it. Thoughts?

  • If the access makes sense, then build a custom policy module and open a bugzilla for it. Probably should be a boolean to allow it.
